👁🗨Today isn’t the first time Patrick Byrne has told his story, he reached out to Butina’s lawyers last month and it paints a more complete picture. This letter to @TheJusticeDept@JusticeOIG and OPR was sent July 25th and it’s alarming if true. documentcloud.org/documents/6228…
For background the judge told DOJ they HAD to disclose Brady material to her lawyers, they claimed there was none.
This is important because her lawyers argued she was baited by an intel source and they even argued it WAS Byrne because he was a government informant. THIS WAS FLATLY DENIED
Byrne had a “non-standard agreement” with the @FBI and assisted the government by kindling a manipulative romantic relationship with her, all under instruction from the highest levels of DOJ.
Should be noted Byrne genuinely didn’t believe Butina was a spy he reported meeting her in 2015 BECAUSE OF HIS SECURITY CLEARANCE and the @FBI told him she was fine and had already been looked into.
He continued to inform of her activities and the government never stopped her yet shes been charged now with being a national security threat? The two of them lost touch and it was the FBI In 2016 that told Byrne to re-connect.
The more Byrne observed the more he was convinced she was harmless he said as much. So WHY is he coming forward now? He claims remorse and didn’t realize how awful it would all be but feared for his business, one month later, we see he was right to be fearful.
So now Butina sits in a jail cel, remember this girl was held in solitary, and her defense lawyer has no jurisdiction which must be maddening because HE WAS RIGHT. WHY would Byrne make this up?
For those following these cases it’s become a wildly disturbing pattern of @TheJusticeDept withholding evidence: they’ve done it with Flynn, and they’re doing it with Concord so it’s not impossible to believe they did it here and it’s horrific. #RussiaHoax
Last thing, it’s pretty obvious they knew they didn’t have enough with Butina so someone leaked to press which triggered the infamous article Strzok and the Ohr’s shared. The same pattern over and over and over.

SCOTUS cannot create laws only Congress can. SCOTUS only decides if laws are Constitutional. So what have we learned? Right to keep and bear arms IS in the Constitution, abortion is NOT. Kindly stop pretending they are identical issues being decided on.
Liberals know this. Edward Lazarus former law clerk to Roe's author, Justice Blackmun, wrote the following:
As a matter of constitutional interpretation and judicial method, Roe borders on the indefensible. I say this as someone utterly committed to the right to choose..(cont)
.. as someone who believes such a right has grounding elsewhere in the Constitution instead of where Roe placed it, and as someone who loved Roe's author like a grandfather. . . . .
If Barr genuinely thought everything was “bullshit” why did he send this memo out 11/9 authorizing DOJ to investigate claims? This bold, unprecedented action rocked the department, causing the director of election crimes to immediately resign. @January6thCmte
The standard procedure for this department had always been to investigate problems after the election (odd policy) the point is it was a drastic measure to pursue “bullshit” and doesn’t add up.
The entire department was outraged and officially asked him to rescind the memo, he did not. It certainly appears Barr didn’t always think it was bullshit, maybe he just said it to committee to make sure he got his cushy board job somewhere.
If I started dropping golf balls into your living room one every two seconds continually without stopping for weeks, could you keep up with removing them?
(mini thread by @TheLastRefuge2)
OK. Now, what happens if we keep the golf balls dropping every two seconds, but now make a rule that you can only pick them up with a spoon and then must carry them outside to drop them in a bucket. Can you still keep up?
How long until your living room is full of golf balls.
